Our Story


AJ Studios was born out of a passion for capturing the magic of South Asian weddings. Inspired by the vibrant colors and energy of these celebrations, we started our journey in 2010 with a simple mission: to tell stories through our lenses. Over the years, we’ve been fortunate to capture countless beautiful moments, from the joyous chaos of mehendi nights to the serene elegance of wedding ceremonies. One of our proudest moments was receiving the "Best Cultural Wedding Photographer" award in 2015. It was a testament to our dedication and love for what we do. Each step forward has been a labor of love, driven by our passion for blending tradition with modern creativity.
